The New Localism

We are all locals. And we live in a global
world. We can no longer pass through or visit remote wild places and trust they will remain that way.
Patagonia’s friends have always brought us news of places they loved that are threatened.
Patagonia is committed to bringing our resources and connections to bear on these threats to wildness,
far and wide. We all have a chance to make a difference. Take a stand.

The Tarkine region of northwestern Tasmania is home to one of the last undisturbed tracts of Gondwanan rainforest in the world and one of the highest concentrations of Aboriginal archaeology in the hemisphere. Yet this place is currently at the mercy of historic extraction industries including timber and mining. The 40-year fight to protect this area as a World Heritage site underscores the complexities of modern conservation and challenges us to defend our last truly wild places.

For decades, First Nations, conservationists, backcountry skiers and snowboarders have fought a proposed large-scale ski resort deep in the Purcell Mountains of British Columbia. After 25 years of opposition, what more will it take to keep Jumbo wild for good?

An oil pipeline ruptured in Santa Barbara County on May 19, 2015, tarring the California coast with 140,000 gallons of thick crude oil that killed wildlife, soiled protected areas and closed beaches. With your help, we supported four recent bills in the California Legislature—three of which were signed into law on October 8, 2015. Join us in staying vigilant and continuing to fight risky oil development on our sensitive coast!

Born and raised at Punta de Lobos, Ramón Navarro found his passion riding the biggest waves on the planet. But his accomplishments in giant surf are just one part of a bigger vision to protect the culture and environment of the Chilean coast.

Thanks to the activism of ultrarunners Krissy Moehl, Jeff Browning and Luke Nelson, a great film by James Q Martin, donations from runners around the world, and a matching grant from Patagonia—the Mile for Mile campaign exceeded its goal and raised over $90,000. Conservacion Patagonica can now build over 50 miles of new trails in Patagonia Park, connecting locals and visitors from everywhere to this remarkable place.
